Scanning your first site
Transcript
In this video, you'll set up a website
and prepare its first accessibility audit
in Connectivo.
To scan a website, start in Sites,
the main work area for managing website accessibility
in Connectivo.
Select New to open the Site Setup Wizard.
The first step identifies the website you want Connectivo to evaluate.
Enter the full website address, then give the site a name that will be easy for your
team to recognize.
A site group is optional, but it can help organize related websites.
Confirm the time zone as well, because Connectivo uses it when scheduling audits and displaying
report times.
The Summary panel on the left keeps track of your choices as you move through the wizard.
Next, decide how much of the website Connectivo should discover.
Full site follows internal links across the domain, while single page limits discovery
to the address you entered.
During discovery, Connectivo can identify
the web pages, documents, and media available
from the site.
If an area should stay outside the evaluation,
add its path under Excluded Paths.
In this example, the student portal is excluded because it requires a separate sign-in.
Step 3 controls the accessibility audit for web pages.
Keep the page audit enabled and select the standard
you want Connectivo to evaluate against.
Here, we are using WCAG 2.2 AA.
The paginated content options allow Connectivo to follow and scan content that continues
across multiple pages.
Enabling Autofix allows Connectivo's AI to generate repairs for supported findings.
AutoAccept can move eligible fixes forward for review,
while AutoPublish determines whether approved fixes are published automatically.
For an evaluation, leave AutoPublish off
so your team can review the results before anything
is published.
Step 4 applies the same approach to documents discovered on the website.
Enable the file audit, choose the document accessibility standard, and decide whether
Connectivo should generate AI-powered fixes for supported file issues.
In this example, files are evaluated against PDF/UA-1.
Autofix is enabled and Automatic Publishing remains off
so the remediated documents can be reviewed first.
The Knowledge Base option is separate from the accessibility audit.
Turn it on when you want Connectivo to extract
approved site content that can support an AI chatbot.
If the goal is only to evaluate and remediate accessibility,
you can leave it off and continue.
The final step determines what happens after setup.
Choose Audit Now to begin discovery
and run the first accessibility audit as soon as you finish the wizard.
Choose Skip Audit if you only want to save the site configuration and start the audit later.
Review the Summary panel one last time, then select Save and Continue.
Connectivo will begin working through the site, using the scope and audit settings you selected.
Your site is now configured for Connectivo to begin discovery,
accessibility analysis, and AI-supported remediation.
Learn how to configure a website and begin your first accessibility audit in Connectivo. This walkthrough covers site details, discovery scope, page and file accessibility settings, optional Knowledge Base content extraction, and audit scheduling.
